They have been working together for years, and now we are witnessing the fruits of their labors.
This raises a mixture of reactions. On one hand, it is hard to feel anything but joy at the destruction of a dictatorship. On the other hand, the Progressive movement is thoroughly Marxist and thoroughly immoral, in that there is no tactic they will not unleash on civilian populations if they feel it serves their ends.
The idea of Progressives working with terrorists to overthrow and Shariafy more of the Middle East should horrify every good American…
…the average consumer of news has no idea that the events they are witnessing are largely the product of American and European Socialists working with the very same groups that flew planes into buildings on 9/11...
